workshop self-healing concrete 6.6.2016

At the Magnel Laboratory for Concrete Research researchers are investigating for several years now the possibility to implement self-healing properties in concrete. Different approaches are herewith investigated, among which some of them already seem successful.

However, in order to bring self-healing concrete to the market some bottlenecks still need to be solved. Therefore, the Magnel laboratory and some national- and international research groups joined their forces and the project CAPDESIGN was started, which focusses on the design of capsules for self-healing concrete.

As the CAPDESIGN project is now approaching its end phase, we would like to disseminate our research results to a broad public during the workshop ‘self-healing concrete’ which will be held at the Magnel Laboratory in Ghent the 6th of June 2016.
